When Women Make Movies

Add Demi Moore and Courtney Cox to the list of women who are directing movies in Hollywood, an impressive roster that includes Jodie Foster, Jane Campion, and Penny Marshall.

Both A-list actresses debuted short films  yesterday  at the Directors Guild headquarters for Glamour magazine's annual Reel Moments event. Both movies were based on stories submitted by Glamour readers.

Moore's movie, a 12-minute short called Streak, starred her daughter Rumer as "a free spirit who inspires a calorie-counting college girl (Brittany Snow) to shed her restrictive lifestyle and have fun."

Cox debuted The Monday Before Thanksgiving, "a 19-minute drama about a woman who finds peace and acceptance on the anniversary of her mother's death."
